Next-Generation iPhone Battery Joins List of Surfacing Parts

Parts for the next-generation iPhone continue to surface as the device's expected introduction at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference next week approaches. The latest part to make an appearance on Taiwanese site Apple.pro is the device's battery, and while it appears that no additional info can be gleaned from the new images beyond that disclosed in reports based on prototypes that surfaced in the hands of Gizmodo and a Vietnamese mobile phone dealer, it does appear to offer another example of Apple's supply chain leaking out parts for an unreleased product.


As first disclosed by Gizmodo, the new images show that the next-generation iPhone's battery carries a capacity of 5.25 watt-hours, a nearly 16.5% increase from the 4.51 watt-hour battery in the iPhone 3GS. The Vietnamese leaked prototype, however, carried a 5.00 watt-hour battery.


The site has also posted a photo of the forthcoming iPhone's dock connector and cable, which differ somewhat in appearance from the design used in the iPhone 3G and 3GS.

"We thought we'd do something magical this year with the iPhone. Remember when you were a kid, and you asked Santa for that Lego set or recter set. Well now it's Christmas all over again. Were gonna let you build it yourself. With our all in color step by step instructions..."

This is how they will get around being blamed for all of the suicides at Foxconn.

16% more?
I wonder what that actually translates to in real world usage.
Hope it's more than just an hour.

LOL! My friend and I at work always joke about that! We actually keep saying we are waiting for the next UFO crash so we can get some cool new stuff in our iPhones! :D

Does this mean that iPhone OS4 is going to drain battery life that much more quickly as they needed to put in a huge increase?
